Summary/Abstract: Imam Galal al-Deen al-Suyuti is an example of extremely talented and broadly educated Islamic scholar, the real encyclopedist. The authors of biographies of famous people point to all the scientific titles Suyuti held. He was Hafeez of Hadeeth (according to definition of the scholars, that is a person who knows more than one hundred thousand Prophetic sayings by heart, along with their chains of transmission and the names of transmitters), an expert in Hadeeth science, a great scholar, a historian, a writer, a poet and so on. All this testifies to his greatness as a scientist. One would be hard-pressed to find a person who wrote this many useful works in so many scientific fields, both in Islamic and in general human history.
